On November 14–15, The Midway in San Francisco hosted Music Expo 25, a two-day event bringing together music producers, artists, engineers, DJs, and music-tech innovators. With gear demos, live performances, industry speakers, and hands-on workshops filling every corner of our production-ready event venue, this year’s expo highlighted the future of music creation and technology.
Why The Midway Is Designed for Music + Tech Events
As a 40,000 sq ft creative event space, The Midway offers integrated sound, lighting, and staging that support the technical demands of music technology showcases and educational experiences. At Music Expo 25, organizers activated multiple indoor rooms and outdoor patios, allowing guests to navigate seamlessly between sessions, performances, and exhibitor booths — all without losing momentum.
Flexible Spaces That Bring Programming to Life
Music Expo 25 utilized many of The Midway’s signature spaces:
- Ride for mainstage presentations, panels, and performances.
- CarreSel for gear demonstrations and immersive audio sessions.
- Gods & Monsters for intimate discussions and community meetups.
- The Gallery for check-in, networking, and brand activation zones.
- Outdoor patios for open-air networking and culinary experiences.
This multi-room campus format allowed the expo to operate like multiple curated events happening in one connected venue — an ideal setup for music and technology gatherings.
A Cultural Home for Music, Art, and Technology
Music Expo represents the intersection of community, creativity, and innovation — exactly what The Midway was built to support. As a San Francisco event venue known for art-forward programming and high-tech production capabilities, The Midway continues to be a home for events that push the boundaries of culture and sound.
What the Music Expo Team Had to Say
Following the event, the Music Expo founder shared a note with our team that captured the spirit of the weekend:
“On behalf of the entire Music Expo team, thank you so much for your hospitality and support over the weekend. We truly felt like everyone was an extension of our team, fully focused on delivering the best possible experience to the attendees.”
They went on to share that nearly everyone they spoke with mentioned that The Midway was the “perfect venue” — and emphasized that a great venue only comes to life with a strong crew behind it.
Music Expo 25 was even highlighted in a broadcast segment on CBS KPIX during the weekend, underscoring the event’s impact within the wider Bay Area creative and music-tech community.
Thank You, Music Expo Community
We loved hosting Music Expo 25 and celebrating the people who are shaping the future of music technology. We are grateful to the Music Expo team and their community for choosing The Midway as their home for this year’s event, and we look forward to welcoming them — and other music-tech and creative industry events — back to our campus in the heart of San Francisco.
